and begged you pret-ty please

  5     6    6   6  -5 -5 -5   -5  -5   5

 5    5  -4  -4   4  -3b
they nev-er tied the knot

-2   -4   -4   5  -5  5
his heart was-n’t in it

I should have been a cow-boy

4    5     6    6  5  6  -6   6   6

 -3  4  4  4   -3
With a fun-ny name 

4   4    6     6     6   6  
Run-in wild through the hills 

  6  6   6  -5   -5
chas-in jes-se james 

5   4  -2 4  -4  -4   4    4  -4 -3b
or end-in up on the brink of dan-ger

 5  -4  -4  -3   4  -3b  4 -3b  4   4    
rid-in shot-gun for the tex-as rang-ers

-3b -2    5    6    6  -5  -5   -5   -5
go west young man have-n’t you been told

-5 -5 -5   5     5   5   5   -4   4 -3b -2   -4
cal-i-for-nia’s full of whis-key wom-en and gold

 -4   5  -5   5    5   5    4    4   4 -3b   -4  
sleep-in out all night be-neath the de-sert stars
 
-3b -2    5  -4 -4 -4  -4  4  -3b  -3b -3b  -2
with a dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart
